Can''t add user

  • Hi there,

    It gives me an error message "User already exists" when adding a login user to a database. I surely deleted that user name in the db. That mean the deleted user is still some where in the db server. Is that called "wild/lost account" and how to list them and completely deleted them?

    Thanks in advance,

    Vincent

  • I have this issue some times too. In enterprise manager in the database under users the user us not shown, but when you try to add it states user exists.

     

    Use the T-sql commands to remove the users

    Use Mydatabase

    sp_dropuser 'MyUser'

  • It works. Thank you, Ray.

    Vincent.
